Fireshed Charter
This Charter describes the purpose and need for the Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative (NCFC) and sets forth operating guidelines for stakeholders and members. Upon adoption, it will replace the previous Collaborative Framework of the NCFC adopted December 11, 2020. The need for this update stems from growth within the NCFC, as well as opportunities presented by the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) in 2021 and subsequent Master Participating Agreement (effective July 20, 2022) and Supplemental Project Agreement (effective August 15, 2022) between the USDA Forest Service Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland (ARP) and the National Forest Foundation (NFF). These agreements facilitate the movement of resources to capacity and on-the-ground implementation by establishing the NFF as fiduciary of a Northern Colorado Fireshed Fund (the Fund). This Charter operationalizes the movement of resources granted or donated with the support of the NFF.
Organizational Structure
Core to the purpose of each committee is to identify barriers and solutions to implement prescribed fire successfully in a highly populated urban interface and at a pace and scale adequate to meet the challenge of wildland fire.
